Set inside an 18th-century, Grade II-listed former courthouse in Clerkenwell, Sessions Arts Club quickly became one of the city’s most sought-after restaurants after opening in 2021. Sessions came together as a collaboration between artists, architects, chefs and restaurateurs with an allure that comes from its incredible design and exclusive vibe – you’ll want to feel like you’re part of the ‘club’. Go for a candlelit dinner in the beautiful dining room, tuck into Florence Knight’s simple but superb Italian-French menu (the desserts are particularly good) and you’ll see why it has earned its rep as an ideal spot for romance – or even an illicit affair.
